Leonardo DiCaprio Lenin script- not based on false biographies ?


With the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution approaching ( 1917 ) the Russian people may not be at all " indifferent " to the memory of Lenin. I recall in the tumultuous 60s reading old archived New York Times front page stories where Lenin is described at the " greatest revolutionary of all time " . As a democratic Socialist I have critical admiration for Vladimir Lenin . Sad to read that the new Russian Czar , Vladimir Putin, slanders and denigrates the memory of Lenin. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union a number of false biographies have been written by pro-capitalist historians on both Lenin and his loyal ( in contrast to Stalin ) comrade Leon Trotsky..
Will the script offered to Leonardo DiCaprio do justice to the subject -the great Lenin ?
David North thinks this a lying biography
The re-assassination of Leon Trotsky
